Is a search function in the standard skin anything that will be included soon?
As for a search function in the standard skin, this is something that's been on the to-do list for quite some time, although with the plans to re-write the standard skin with improved functionality I decided to wait a bit with the search function so I didn't have to re-write more function than I need to. So this is a function that will be implemented in the standard skin v2.0.
Although I'm thinking about going ahead of myself and first of all create a function in the Vibe Script Language that people that are interested can use to modify their own search function before the standard skin update is released.

I really wish you would. I want this feature so bad I'm writing a firefox extension to connect splice in a php search script I have running on my server which searches a copy of the share.xml file.
Yeah, I want it *that* bad.
In fact, I would really appreciate it if you could say when you might do this. If it's going to be any more than a couple of weeks, I'll hack together a solution on my own, otherwise I'll wait. I'm happy to test betas as well.

Hmm ive wanted to messaround with the skins alot, im currently writing the colour syntax for the vibe language for PSPad ([urlswhkbs55]http://www.pspad.com/[/urlswhkbs55]) Its an awsome editor.
I will Make my own skin and see how it turns out.
Nice one! If you have any ideas of improvement to the Vibe Script Language or even how skins could be made easier (maybe with the use of XML), please gimme the ideas and I'll look them over.
At the moment creating skins require quite some knowledge in webprogramming, it would be very nice if there was a way to make it a lot easier for the user to play around with skins.
A while ago I was experimenting with a JavaScript GUI I wrote and it turned out pretty ok, but I realised it might have been a bit on the overkill side to be used in Vibe Streamer. But _if_ i decide to remake the standard skin this is one thing I've been thinking about. Users could easily create and customize the track list as a simple GridView object created entirely by JavaScript.

Yeah. I program in Actionscript, PHP, CSS, HTML, Javascript, Python and a few bits of other languages.
I started programming in Actionscript 2 years ago, do i know all my in's and out's of mp3 playing, id3's, XML. And Javascript is easy.
One thing that im confused about is, you said this is to stream a song
http//192.168.0.18081/virtual/MyMusic/song1.mp3
My music is streaming in a folder called Music so I assume it would be
http//10.254.0.118081/virtual/Music/song1.mp3
Alas it wont work
And yes if you think you can provide some more useful features for the vibe scripting language go ahead.
Humm well as stated in the documentation about the virtual folder, that's how it should be. Please note that it's the virtual path we're talking about, so lets say for example that you share c\MyFolder\MP3 As the shared Vibe Streamer folder "Music". Then your path should be
http//youip8081/virtual/Music
And if there's a song called "test.mp3" in c\MyFolder\MP3 then you can load that song using 'http//youip8081/virtual/Music/test.mp3'
To be able to stream you _must_ be logged on to the server, you can only get logged on my first loading index.php and sending the server your username and password.
Also note that the Vibe Stream server is case sensitive on most cases.

Yeah doing as you showed from the media player won't work and it's made that way on purpose. Although maybe I should make it possible for future development, lets say if anyone wanna make a WinAmp plugin or such... hmm, I'll think about it.. well, but you got it working the way its intended, so that's fine for now
Yeah cant anyone do a WinAmp plugin!? )))
This is a great app. A search function would make it even greater!
